I have rifles in both cartridges. My .300 WM is a Rem 700 SPS, and my .338 WM is a Ruger Hawkeye SS. I'll be honest with you, I like the .338 WM over the .300 WM, as it to me the rifle does not kick as hard as the .300 WM. Of course the Ruger is a little heaver and that helps tame the recoil as well. I'm also impressed with how well the .338 WM shoots. My son that just came home from Army AIT last week for the AK Army Guard has decided he wants a .300 WM. I told him to save his money, and he can have mine. I've shot caribou with it and have bear hunted with it the past three springs I hunted bear (2014, 2016, and 2017). I honestly don't see it going in the woods with me much anymore as the .338 and my .300 WSM I prefer over the .300 WM.
